P;;rf ''(. l —that this Country has made every overture to the United Stites fOr the reservation of harmony, consistent with its proper chaiatSlet : , ;ill also ad mit of no dispute. NiY, it may fairly and truly be said, that Great Britain has shewn a greater spirit of Conciliation - to America than she had a right to eSpeet, and that no other Nation could possibly think of requiring. Still, howevei - , no thing could soften the determined -dislike which Mr. JEFFERSON has manifested towards this cotin- try; and not satisfied with that, he has shewn as evident 'a sut‘serviency to our unrelenting foe. It w as right, therefore, that Mr. JEFFERSON should 'know that he is not merely an object of censure to: O ur Party Writers; but that the most distinguished charalers in this country, men whose 'Situation e xempts them from every pitiful bias, view him as a man who has not acid with the dignity. • • the re&itude, and the impartiality becOthing the high station he fills. Nor can he cloUbt that the same sentiments. must prevail among enli'ghtened Men in every part of Europe, however those senti ments may be at present suppressed by the fear of increasing the vengeance of the general Oppressor of Mankind. We, therefore, are rather inclined to • rejoice that Sir FRANcis BARING brought the mat ter to a test, though we may still regret that so re -Peetable a charmer should have committed himself 8 0 much in the eyes of mankind. Mr. JEFFERSON h imself has nothing to expe6t from such conduct, even from the man to whom he has sacrificed his character, for BUONAPARTE will exact more r tl Proportion as he sees a disposition to concede ; •a`• ) d the people of America must despise the bead of their Government for such an abject sub to the person WhO restricts their corn tricree, and insults their country; arid long for the Perrot'• when they may conter their choice on a Pre ',Lent mores likely to 'follow .the footsteps of WAsx- 1 VGl.Ok. and not unrnOtate their right and interests A the shrine of an Usurper; whose only principles of. vion are hatred to this Country, and insatiable arTV. bijon; last night Moniteurs to th 6 24th ult. reached tilvia; their contents have been in general antici 7 • pates by the Dutch Papers we have, however, madea few etc-aets from 'them.

The discovery of any communication with the Patri o t s; among - whom are included all whore= ' Cds beyond the range of the posts of JUNOT'S army, is sufficient to bring upon the parties concerned in it t'li,punisluttent of death.

The match between Lord (fi x, H ere fordshire, and M r . Dy ott ' s long-horned x, was decided in favour of the latter Gentleman. The match between Mr. Meek, and Mr. Moore, of a Shearhog Ram, was decided in favour of Mr. Meek. The premium for Rams was adjudged to Mr. Meek, and that for the two best Theaves to Dyott.

It is said that Government has it in contempla tion to make the harbour at these Islands commo dious and safe for the reception of ten Sail of the Line k;eildes Frigates ; it being, from its westerly direction, peculiarly ad6titakeoustothe getting out to sea with 'any wind, and for interCepting any of the enemy's • Fleets that might chance to get out of their Ports. It is also said to be the intention of. Government to permit salt to be imported_ for the use of these Islands, duty free, and the which will be a great acquisition to the poor inhabitants, who are now greatly distressed from' the scarcity of that article , in, curing ling fish; and other fish in general.

Spanish Patriots. it is a long three-pounder, mounted on a light carriage, and fixed to a sort of saddle, by whiCh it may be fastened on a mule's back, and worked with all pos sible celerity. Sixty of these have ali - eady ben shipped for the Spanish provinces, and their utility will be incalculable in defending the country against .the approaches of a foreign enemy. By the assist ance of mules, whd are not only sure footed, but calculated far a mountainous country, they may be conveyed into positiong and situatidns commanding the passes, and may be made the means of consi derable annoyance to troops on their March. • The mules too twill be left to the dire6tion of muleteers, or guides, well acquainted with the.country, and perfealy acquainted with the passes; so that they can be removed from place to place without the fear df fallibg iiito the bands of the enemY. They are also calculated to be used as flying artillery, and fur all the purposes of annoying troops on their march. The foundery at Woolwich is almost exclusively en gaged in matiulaEturing thesepietes, and the greatest alacrity is used in multiplying their numbers. Letters from Gottenburgh state that the EmperOr of RUSSIA has offered tO make Peace with Sweden ; but that his Swedish Majesty refused, observing, that he could not treat without Eogland.

ELSINEUR, JULY B.—(in the sth instant, there was an engagement in the Sb.und, which listed three hours, between several small English Ships and our Gun-boats; the English Ships : were convoying s son - ie Merchant Vessels. Three of the latter, three S6e- , dish Privateers,' and a Yacht, were driven on shore, but the Yacht 'was afterwards got off. The English Ship; against which our Gun-boats maintaitied so honourable a combat, dndet the orders of Lieute nant, SuEksotr, in the bay of Kioge, has been sufficiently repaired, and has arrived at Gottenburgh with a number of wounded. .She must's also have lost .many men in the engagement. CANTON, DEC. 23, 1807.- , -There are, now no Ships at Bamboo but English and American 7 13 of the former belong to the East India Company, the others are in number sik or eight. On the 3d. of December a Trading Ship from China, beicitiging to ati English Merchant, and loaci,ed for Bengal, took fire, and burnt to the water's edge.. The British Ships of War have tommitti:d many ads of hosti lity near Macao. The English have killed an Ame rican Captain, who had twice refused them perniis ;.ion to conic en beard . Vb examine his Ship. To justify this minder, ,thet declared that the Captain was a pirate, and without any other form of process; carried away the Ship, cargo, and crew. We - well know, however, that the American Captain never committed any ad of piracy. His name is Nicou.s; he commanded the Ship the Tepat, trading to China, and_appertaining to one of the first houses in .11:hit - note. - We shall see , what the Americans will say to this ad of violence.—Moniteur,.

VIENN A, JULY 6T--It is now determined that. her Majesty the Empress shall be crowned QUEEN of HUNGARY, at Presburgh, in the beginning of Sep tember. The States are already convened for the end of August. His Majesty will be there with his august Spome, probably some days . before the cere ttwny of her coronation. The new Theatre which STEPHEN KENIBLE has built At Greenock, according to report, is a very el?gant strucaure. It is to be opened in about a fort night, and as that place is full of bustle, and a con siderable number of trading vessels are there, it is likely to be well attended. COOKE has been more than commonly attractive at Newcastle, and in consequence the Theere has beeil kept open for a much longer period than has ever , been usual alter the Itdce week. He has been alarmingly ill with a fever; but is now able to per- , form, with his usual spirit. WeREADY, the Ma nager, has treated the people with great novelty.; Ile engaged DwYErt, BLANC:FUID . , BAREYMoRE,Mrs. GLOVLR, EMERY, INCLEDON, and Mrs. YOUNG, late Miss BIGGS. There is likely to be an eager competition for the Edinburgh Theatre, as the lease granted to Rocx has expired. Mr. JACKSON, son of the late Pro priet.or, is said to be one of the Candidates. Mr. H. SIDDONS and Mr. M'CREAny are also mention , eid as likely to come forward on the occasion. It is veiry probable, however, that the lease will be re newed in favour of ROCK, if he is inclined to re sume the management, as be has conduced the ?)ic , time •with, spirit and liberality. — lt is said that Mrs. GLOVER is nit a favourite with the Newcastle people in tragedy. Her comic excellence, however, none can dispute, and she cer tainly has not, in that respe&, left her equal on the London boards. • A Gentleman calling at the door of a Noble Agri culturalist, and enquiring if his Lordship, was at home ?

We have tnneh•plensure in-relating the follovvin incAent, as it spews. that though adversity is too often the touchstone oi c loyalty and duty, as well as of friendship, it does not always annihilate'those feelings, and strongly illustrates the lines of the Poet, when applied to this illustrious fugitive and the detestable usurper of his thr.one- _ , " And more true joy :VI AR e F,Lt.us, exil'd, feels; " Than C /ASA It with a Senate at tus heels." Since LOUis the XVlllth's arrival in London, his love for the arts and sciences induced him to vis.t alt the public edifices and curious:establishments of this metropolis. On Tuesday last, at two, o'clock, ac companied by the Prince of CONDS, he went to , iee the ingzmious and incomparable Astronomical Es tatilishinent of L'Abbe VmsoN. On his entrance, his Majesty was very , agreeably. surprized to see himself -surronnded by more_ than 460 French Etnigrauts, whom a desire to see their unfortunate, bat much beloved King, had attraacct there, and to whom the Abbe VINS6N could tici refuse entrance into his - public establishment.— The numerow,:and faithful crowd, conformably to the orders of Louts the XVIElth, did' not shout their acctistomed cry Cf " rive le Rol!, Five Is 1,toi!"
